"The Way Through the Woods" with Long Litt Woon
Advertisement
Long Litt Woon, author of international bestseller "The Way Through The Woods" visits Prismatic Pages in conversation with Anne Balke Staver - just in time for foraging season!
A grieving widow feeling disconnected from life discovers a most unexpected obsession--hunting for mushrooms--in a story of healing and purpose.
"The Way Through the Woods" tells the story of two parallel journeys: an inner one, through the landscape of mourning, and an outer one, into the fascinating realm of mushrooms--resilient, adaptable, dizzyingly diverse, and essential to nature's cycles of death and rebirth. An anthropologist and certified mushroom expert, Woon brings a fresh eye and boundless curiosity to the natural world and takes readers from primordial Norwegian forests to hidden-in-plain-sight Central Park pathways. She also introduces a lovable and eccentric cast of mushroom obsessives.
The book was Norway's most-translated book the year it came out, and has been translated to 17 different languages.
Woon and Anne will talk for around 45 minutes about the book, followed by a 15 minute Q&A, and finally mingling and signing of books.
When: 2 September, 17.15-18.45
Where: Prismatic Pages, Rathkes gate 7b
